The Odd Couple: starring Cesar Hernandez and Odubel Herrera

Remember towards the beginning of the season, when everyone and their mother wanted to quarantine Cesar Hernandez given his lack of production? The Phillie fanbase was up in arms, immediately pressing for the struggling second baseman to be benched in favor of young utility man, Scott Kingery.

Well, now that he’s turned his bat on, it seems as though those complaints have quieted, and, instead of shedding tears of despair at the mention of Cesar Hernandez’ name, the fans are crying tears of glee — as Hernandez is now slashing an impressive .310/.375/.474 with 4 long balls.
